Part 1 Staggered Time and Space Chapter 4 The Journey of the Kingdom of Li

Section 352 Travel (4)

Everyone looked at Yueqing, and they all knew that she was very particular about what she ate.

Yueqing noticed that everyone was looking at her, "What are you doing looking at me, everyone tastes it." ”

Yue Ke said: "I don't need to, I've already tasted the dishes in this restaurant." ”

Yueqing looked at him: "So you come often?" ”

"Sort of."

Yueqing took the bamboo chopsticks handed by Qiao'er, looked at it, and picked up the nearest piece of beef. "Well, it's okay, it's just a little light, and it's better to add some onion and garlic juice. But the chef's knife skills are good, cutting so thin. ”

Qin Youdao smiled and said, "Try something else." ”

Yueqing looked up, "I'll taste this tofu." Well, it's quite tender, and there's a meaty aroma, chicken? ”

"The county lord is right, it's chicken soup, the chicken soup that has been stewed for two hours is not very delicious."

"It's delicious, yes, it tastes much better than the beef just now. Chang Shen, you taste. We can do it when we go back. ”

Qin Youdao: "Hey, county lord, this is the secret recipe of our restaurant, only the chef will make it." ”

Yueqing looked up at him and thought, I will do it too. "Oh, let's look into it when we go back, and talk to your chef another day. Hey, what is it? ”

Yueqing picked up a small rib and tasted it. "Well, this is not bad, the outer noodle is wrapped just right, is there any material added to it, what fruit must be added to the water of this noodle, and then this meat is hammered for a long time, the chef is patient, and then first fry, then steam, and then mix with the sauce. Good taste. Taste it, Chang Shen, this dish is even better than what you make. ”

Chang Shen nodded as he said, picked up a piece and ate it, and nodded busily.

Qin Youdao looked dazed, "Yo, the county lord still knows how to cook?" That's right. ”

Yueqing spit out the bones and said, "I don't cook well, but I can eat, Chang Shen likes to toss these according to my preferences on weekdays." ”

Qin Youdao hurriedly looked at Chang Shen: "I didn't expect this gentleman to be a talented person." ”

Chang Shen stood beside Yueqing and said with a smile: "Don't dare to be, it's just a little fur." ”

Yueqing smiled and continued: "However, this dish is not very good, and starch should be used." ”

Qin Youdao: "What is starch? ”

Yueqing was stunned for a moment, but she didn't expect that there was no starch here: "Oh, something similar to flour, it's a bit complicated to say, if Chang Shen has time another day, you can ask him." ”

Qin Youdao hurriedly asked Chang Shen for a few words. Chang Shen politely gave him a few perfunctory words.

Yueqing tasted a few more, most of the dishes were good, what lion's head, acacia flower crisp, chestnut crisp and so on tasted very good, only some did not quite match Yueqing's taste. Plus the cooking method is somewhat monolithic. Naturally, it can't be compared with modern cooking, but some dishes taste better than modern cooking, but it may be that Yueqing has not really eaten in the most upscale restaurants.

After basically tasting it all over, Yueqing put down the chopsticks, she has a straight temperament, she will eat a few more bites of the delicious ones, and if she doesn't like them, she takes a bite and puts them directly on the table. Coupled with a few comments from time to time, it is not difficult to see that she is serious about tasting these dishes.

Qin Youdao said in his heart that this county lord has really bad tastes, these are all the signboards in this restaurant, there is nothing that can surprise her, it looks like everyone around her will do it.

You must know that Murong is the best master of cooking in Li Jingli, and he has ranked first in all previous cooking competitions. It's not much better than the imperial chef in the palace, if it weren't for the fact that he was used to freedom, refused the invitation in the palace, and was left here by his own ideas, his own restaurant would not be ranked first in Lijing.

Yueqing looked up and saw Qin Youdao looking at her thoughtfully.

Qin Youdao was taken aback, a little out of shape, and then looked at the few people behind the county lord looking at him with unkind faces, and hurriedly smiled: "Gaffe, I just feel that the county lord is not an ordinary person, and I was a little surprised for a while." ”

Yueqing smiled, didn't accuse him of anything, and asked, "Well, the food in your restaurant is really good, no wonder the old man opposite said that this is the best place in Lijing." I heard him say that most people don't pay salt, so I thought the food here would be very monotonous. ”

Qin Youdao was speechless for a while, how could this restaurant be compared to the old man who sold baked cakes. But he didn't say much. After a few polite words and talked with Shi Rong and Yue Kepan, Yueqing listened to their chat with interest. Thinking about where to play next.

A noisy footstep came in at the door, and a familiar voice came: "Qin Youdao, you are too uninteresting, how can you put King Yong'an aside and ask the two singers to deal with us." I'd like to see who makes such a big show. ”

As he spoke, a group of people turned in, and everyone looked at it, only to see a group of people walking in with a man dressed in gold, silver and jewelry, looking like an upstart. The man's face was domineering and arrogant, as if everyone else was inferior to him.

The people standing next to him were also well-dressed, and the person who spoke just now, Yue Qing could see at a glance, wasn't this exactly He Jicheng who she saw when she was hunting that day. The few people behind him were also a little familiar.

As soon as the group turned out of the screen, they were stopped by Chang Rong raising his hand.

The nouveau riche was stunned and looked at Chang Rong in surprise.

A person behind him immediately shouted: "Presumptuous, blind your dog's eyes, dare to stand in the way of King Yong'an." ”

Everyone in the private room was stunned, and He Jicheng on the other side was even more stunned than them, and then he was a little panicked.

The king of Yong'an was waiting for someone to drive away the person who stood in the way for him, only to hear He Jicheng next to him stammer: "This, this, this collision." Oops, it's me who is reckless, it's me who is reckless. ”

King Yong'an was surprised, he didn't expect that this person in the private room could scare He Jicheng like this, it seems that his status must not be low, at least not lower than his own identity, or it will not be like this. He is not a fool either, and half of the anger in his heart has been suppressed.

Just as he was about to say something, Qin Youdao had already stood up, came to him and carefully apologized: "Ouch, why is the prince here, is it that the dishes in our restaurant are not appetizing, I will ask someone to change it." ”

Qin Youdao was suddenly a little embarrassed, this great god himself couldn't afford to provoke, but this King of Yong'an was too rude, he had been with him for a lot of time just now, and specially called the best singer to wait, and he had only been out for a long time, so he came over directly. There are many powerful guests in this restaurant, and I can't always accompany him.

King Yong'an walked down the steps and said, "No, this dish is indeed good, but I heard that there are distinguished guests in the private room here, come to pay a visit." ”

Qin Youdao heard him say this, and turned his head to look at Yueqing, Shi Rong, and Yue Ke, he couldn't be the master.

Shi Rong got up and introduced: "County Lord, this is the King of Yong'an, this time I came to the Li Kingdom as the envoy of the Lu State to increase the life of the Queen Mother." ”

Yueqing was also a little surprised, and asked without passing through her brain: "Which country is Lu country?" I thought it was the prince of Li again, and I was thinking about why Li was so princely. ”

After speaking, he suddenly felt that he had said something wrong, and the face of King Yong'an on the other side had darkened, and he thought that he was a person with some identity, but he turned out to be a county lord, and he actually said that he didn't know which country Lu was. What a crazy tone, are you being played by a class of women? I was about to get angry.

Yueqing over there hurriedly stood up and apologized: "That, I'm really sorry, I said the wrong thing, I didn't mean to insult you, but I've never been out of the house, I haven't seen the world, and I ask for forgiveness." After speaking, he was about to bow, but Yue Ke stood up and grabbed her.

"What are you doing, Miss?" After speaking, he looked coldly at King Yong'an opposite.

Qi Jiao also shouted: "Dare to rush into Miss, Chang Rong, don't blast out yet." ”

Chang Rong raised his hand and slapped it on the chest of King Yong'an, and at the same time, a strong man beside King Yong'an immediately reacted, and instantly came to King Yong'an's body and received a palm from Chang Rong. He took a few steps back and crashed into King Yong'an.

Chang Rong was stunned, he didn't expect this person to be a little powerful, although he didn't make a heavy hand, but he was a little surprised to be blocked by him so easily. The opponent was also a little stunned, this is a powerful character.

The people behind him immediately became chaotic, and several people came forward to help King Yong'an down. He Jicheng was also frightened here, and was protected by his subordinates and retreated to the side. The other seven or eight people immediately surrounded Chang Rong.

The man who stood in front of King Yong'an just now: "Be careful, this person is extraordinary. ”

Another person who seemed to be taking the lead shouted: "Madman, dare to be disrespectful to King Yong'an." Look at the moves. After speaking, a meteor hammer beckoned to Chang Rong. Chang Rong dodged, and between the lightning and flint, he was already fighting with several people. Qi Jiao narrowed his eyes, these people have some ability, and they are all strong.

I saw that he kicked at one of them in a change of shape, kicked the person out of the second floor, knocked off the door bar and the handrail of the verandah, fell into the hall on the first floor, vomited a mouthful of blood and fainted, and there was a scream from downstairs.

The man who took the lead shouted at the brother downstairs who didn't know whether he was alive or dead, while fighting: "The third child." ”

The other said angrily: "Bastard, look at the sword." Pointing directly at Chang Rong, Chang Rong turned around, grabbed his hand holding the sword, only to hear a click, the man screamed, and let go. Gritting his teeth, he pulled out a short knife from his leg and stabbed Chang Rong in the back.

Chang Rong didn't even look at it, slapped his back palm at his ribs, and the man flew out upside down, slammed into the door, and lay there in embarrassment.

Qi Jiao said: "Don't see blood in front of the county lord." ”

Chang Rong smiled: "Yes." Kicking the long sword on the ground with his foot, holding it in his hand, and meeting the various weapons on the opposite side, there was a ping-pong sound of weapons intersecting. In a few moves, another person was ejected out of the door by Chang Rong with a sword.

After all, the private room has limited space, and one person can't withstand Chang Rong's blow and staggered back to the room, before he gets close to the table, Chang Yuxiao's body bursts out with a true qi, stretches out his hand to slap him, and the person is wrapped in a wave of qi, knocks down the screen and flies out.

Seeing that the enemy was not enough, the other four stopped and retreated some distance, and the one sitting here was obviously more powerful than the one who was fighting them.

Chang Rong didn't continue to move, just waiting for them there.

Then the man who took the lead asked, "Who are you?" ”

Chang Rong sneered: "Miss is on a trip, and a group of things that don't have long eyes dare to come to disturb, while Miss is in a good mood, don't let me go." ”

The man who took the lead said: "We are all heroes of Canglang Castle, and we have no intention of making enemies with you, but the king of Yong'an is kind to me, and you are unreasonable and unreasonable, and then you hurt our brothers for no reason, and now you still tell us to get out." But do you still have a little sense? ”

Chang Rong sneered: "But we invited you to come here to be beaten, trespassing on other people's territory without permission, and what kind of reasoning are you still talking here." ”

Qin Youdao looked at the mess all over the ground distressedly, knowing that it was Yueqing who had the final say here, and persuaded: "County Lord, this is a harmonious and wealth-making man, and the so-called ignorant is not guilty." You see, King Yong'an has also learned a lesson, or else this matter will be settled. ”

Yue Ke said with a smile: "Shopkeeper Qin, don't worry, we will compensate for the broken things in the restaurant." ”

Qin Youdao knew that the Yue family was rich, but it was not all a matter of money, Lu was a big country that was not weaker than Li. King Yong'an is also the uncle of Emperor Lu, and his position in Lu is very important, but it is not comparable to their Qin Palace. He doesn't care if they have a conflict somewhere else, but if something happens to him, he can't escape this responsibility.

Thinking about it, he bowed and saluted: "The county lord is benevolent, just make a good fate, and this matter will be stopped." ”

Yueqing saw him like this, although she watched it quite lively, but in the final analysis, she said the wrong thing first.

Then he said, "Okay, Yue Ke, Chang Rong." A trivial matter, it was originally me who said the wrong thing and offended the other party. We can't always be so strong, and when it's time to bow our heads and admit our mistakes, it's okay to admit our mistakes. ”

Yue Ke said: "Miss, why do you need to admit your mistake to him in person. ”

Yueqing looked at him and frowned: "If it's wrong, it's wrong, why don't you dare to admit it, you want me to be a scoundrel, right, bully?" ”

On the other side, King Yong'an was still a little shocked, and the person behind him stepped forward and said, "Who are you, how dare you be so bold and reckless." Dare to be so rude to King Yongan of my Lu country, do you want to provoke two wars? I am the ambassador of Emperor Lu to Lebanon, and tomorrow I want to personally ask Emperor Li for advice, is this the etiquette of the Li State? ”

Yueqing frowned and glared: "What? I heard you right, you want to start a war on this thing? Are you kidding. Are you sure what kind of ambassador you are? I didn't think about how to promote peace between the two countries, but I thought about provoking a war.

Threaten me, I said the wrong thing, but you trespassed into our private room and scolded our people first, but you didn't fight if you wanted to bully others. Hmph, are we good bullies? Today, you, King Yong'an, apologize to Chang Rong first, and I will apologize to you. Otherwise, if you sue Emperor Li, I will not be afraid of you. ”

The envoy was stunned: "You are talking nonsense, when did we scold people first?" ”

Yueqing said with a smile: "Oh, what a double standard, leniency has been lawful, and strictness has been treated, right?" You Lu country should not be a nameless small country, why don't you even know how to knock on the door first when visiting others, and our people stopped us after breaking in all the way. If I don't agree to you to come in, I'll be blind.

Who knows what you want to come in for, if you want to steal or if you want to come in and do your job. If Chang Rong didn't know some kung fu, wouldn't he be besieged by your group of people, you scolded people first, and those who bullied us more and beat us later, is this the etiquette of your Lu country? I said that I rarely go out, I haven't seen the world, and I apologize, but you still say that we don't understand etiquette, and it's the style of a big country. ”

Everyone in the private room held back laughter. The people who didn't leave around also came around, and these people who didn't leave all had some status, which ones didn't bring with them, and there were all kinds of envoys and famous families from other countries. Under the protection of the guards, they watched the excitement from a short distance.

King Yong'an's face suddenly felt a little unbearable,

The envoy didn't think that she would beat her upside, and his mind was dedicated for a long time, and he said: "These people are all from the rivers and lakes, but they are not from our Lu country, not to mention that they have not bullied more and less, but have been passively beaten." You don't want to talk about it here. ”

Yueqing smiled even more happily, stood up and applauded: "This is a clever thing, it turned out to be a group of chivalrous heroes, and suddenly passing by here saw that the people who had been kind to them were about to suffer, so they quickly dodged and appeared to block the disaster, and by the way, they taught a lesson to their benefactors.

Aren't you ashamed to say this? The people brought by King Yong'an, whether they were from Lu or not, were all his followers. If it has nothing to do with King Yong'an, why should he come out for him. Is it pure chivalry?

In addition, I heard that most of the people in the rivers and lakes are biased towards the weak side when they don't know the truth, or find ways to stop the dispute, which is obviously that there are few people on our side, not counting the boss 8 people, and there are 2 weak women in it. So many people on the other side came in to find fault, and they actually chose to hit us first. It seems that they are not good men in Canglang Castle, right? ”

After speaking, Yueqing looked at the heroes of Canglang Castle who looked at her angrily and said, "Also, didn't I say you, you worked hard for this King of Yong'an, just for some trivial things, and people kicked you away at will, aren't you angry?" ”

The envoy couldn't think of anything to say for a while, and King Yong'an glared at him, "Enough, I'm unlucky today, let's go, don't be embarrassed here." ”

The entourage hurriedly followed to leave, and several people from the rivers and lakes went to help their injured people, and He Jicheng also hurriedly followed out.

Yueqing shouted: "Slow, let you go?" Chang Rong, stop them. ”

Chang Rong hurriedly stopped in front of King Yong'an.

King Yong'an looked at Yueqing: "What else do you want?" ”

Yueqing said: "Didn't you want to provoke a war just now?" Why, I'm going to leave now. The people who scolded us want to leave without apologizing, how can it be so easy, I have to ask your country today for what etiquette is. ”

King Yong'an turned to glare at her: "He is an entourage, you want me to apologize to him?" ”

Yueqing said: "He is not an entourage, he is a person close to me." I don't embarrass you, just ask the person next to you who is clamoring for war to apologize on behalf of you. Anyway, how about I ask him to apologize to you for my gaffe on my behalf? ”

King Yong'an suppressed his anger and looked at the envoy for a moment.

The envoy was shocked: "Lord, this is not acceptable, how can you show weakness to them." ”

King Yong'an thought about it and thought he was right.

"What if I don't apologize?"

Yueqing snorted: "Then don't think of going out of the door of this restaurant today, there are a lot of idlers on my side, and I am worried that I have nothing to do, and some time is wasted with you." ”

Yue Ke stood beside her and said with a smile: "We will bear all the business losses of this Qingfeng Restaurant during the handling of this matter. ”

Qin Youdao stood next to him and didn't dare to speak.

King Yong'an was even more suspicious when he saw this, and He Jicheng touched his side and whispered a few words.

King Yong'an was shocked: "What, Villa?" Then he glared at him angrily and said, "Why didn't you say it earlier? ”

He Jicheng said bitterly: "I didn't have to say two words to fight, and I have to say it too." ”

King Yong'an completely lost his temper, turned around and saluted with a smile: "What kind of person should I be, it turned out to be the nobles of the villa, disrespectful and disrespectful." It was indeed me who was rude in the first place, and we apologize to these brothers. After speaking, he glared at the envoy: "I still apologize." ”

The envoy blushed and bowed his head to Chang Rong and apologized, Chang Rong accepted coldly, and then was about to apologize to King Yong'an, when King Yong'an stretched out his hand to stop him and said, "No need." ”

After speaking, he saluted Yueqing's side again and said, "The nobles of the villa, you don't have to be like this. I heard that the woman of the Chang family in the villa never goes out, and it is common not to know the name of Lu Guo, please forgive me for not knowing it. ”

Yueqing frowned: "How do you know that I am a woman of the Chang family?" ”

King Yong'an laughed and said: "It's not difficult to guess this, I heard that the Red Guards of the Mountain Villa will only guard the side of the Chang family, and they are always dressed in red. And this son should be a member of the Yue family, I heard that the Chang family has a transcendent status in the villa, and the rumors are true. Please forgive me for not knowing Mount Tai, and I will go to Qinghu Villa to make amends another day. ”

After saying the salute, he straightened up and looked at Yueqing.

Yueqing frowned and looked at him: Even the Qinghu Villa knows that this prince is not a reckless man, it is really not simple.

Yueqing smiled: "No need, it's a trivial matter, since you don't have any grievances, this matter will be over." ”

King Yong'an hurriedly said: "Yes, yes." Today is also a good fate, I think I will have a chance to meet the girl. I'll take my leave. ”

After saying that, he smiled, and was about to leave with someone.

Yueqing looked at the crowd around her and frowned, "Wait." ”

King Yong'an stopped and looked back at her.

Yueqing pointed at He Jicheng and said: "This person is a troublemaker, he caused disputes last time, and this time it caused such a big turmoil, I don't want to be disturbed by anything today to travel interest, you can go, he has to stay." So as not to bring any more princes, I have to spend time dealing with it. ”

King Yong'an glanced at He Jicheng and said: "He is not from my Lu country, I don't care about him, the girl is free to do so." It's just that I'm curious what the girl plans to do with him. ”

Yueqing said: "Of course it's locked up, Chang Rong, find a room where no one is there and lock me up, let people watch him, and break my leg if he dares to come out." When you have finished playing, you will go back and release it again. ”

Chang Rong glanced at Qi Jiao.

Yueqing smiled: "What, is there any problem?" ”

Chang Rong said: "No, Miss don't worry, Chang Rong will catch up with you when she finishes it." After speaking, He Jicheng, who was shouting, went downstairs.

Yueqing glanced at Qi Jiao. sighed and said, "It's been a mess, and the interest is gone, let's go." ”

With that, he got up and left. Qiao'er, Chang Shen and others hurriedly followed.

Yue Ke said to Qin Youdao: "All the expenses today are recorded in the accounts of the villa, and someone will come to deal with the accounts in the evening. ”

Qin Youdao hurriedly arched his hand and said, "It's easy to say." Poorly cared for, poorly cared for. ”

Yue Ke nodded at him, and went to chase Yueqing, and Shi Rong also came over and patted Qin Youdao's shoulder before leaving.

The onlookers had already made a way, and Yueqing had completely shown her face in front of these people. But Yueqing didn't have anything to worry about, she just felt a little sulky that she was being watched like a monkey.

All the way back to the carriage, a group of people and others also gathered.

Yue Ke looked at Yueqing's unpleasant expression outside the car window, and wondered why he was angry.

coughed and said, "Miss, are we going back, or are we going somewhere else?" ”

Yueqing looked at him angrily: "What are you going to do back?" This is just the time. Really, it's not safe to eat. Let's find a place where we can rest and have fun to sit for a while. I don't know about it, so you can do it. ”

As he spoke, he closed the curtain.

Yue Ke looked at the closed curtain, shook his head helplessly, and turned his head to look at Shi Rong: "Where is this place where you can rest and be interesting?" What is the best place for Brother Shi Rong? ”

Shi Rong thought for a while: "Go to the music and dance workshop, send the pavilion, you can listen to the music there." I think it should meet the requirements of the county lord. ”

Yue Ke nodded: "It's a good place to go, just go there." I have to trouble Shi Rong to do some more, don't make any more extraneous branches. ”

Shi Rong said: "Don't worry, after this incident, no one should come to disturb it again." ”

Yue Ke got into the carriage and sat next to Qi Jiao, who was already sitting in the driver's seat: "Commander Jiao will go to the Jiyi Pavilion, and I will tell you how to go." ”
